This issue might seem to have little to do with style: walking in nature, swimming in the ocean, eating supper under the stars or setting out to a distant locale.
But while some of our stories celebrate rarefied places and exquisite experiences, the message behind all of them is one of artful simplicity. Take, for example, the radically pared-down, three-bedroom penthouse suite the Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt and the Japanese-born architect Tatsuro Miki created atop the Greenwich Hotel in New York City. Vervoordt spent four years creating a humble, rustic abode inspired by the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. His intention is for people to see the beauty in raw and aged materials as a reminder of the transience and imperfection of all things. (These lessons come to you courtesy of T, even if the suite goes for $15,000 per night.)
Our critic at large, Andrew O'Hagan, muses on swimming as a transformative state, one that conjures memories of childhood and the refreshing sense of losing oneself in water — and on the difficulty of finding the right pair of swim trunks. Liesl Schillinger praises the meditative joys of walking, and how forging our own path imprints a lasting place and time in our minds.
Style resides in how we think and feel and go about our lives, but small touches are also important: a chic, dangly pair of earrings worn with hair slicked back after a swim, a bathing suit that makes you feel worthy of the sea or an elegant table set with flowers from the garden.
People often ask where our stories come from. This month, a writer new to T, Michael Snyder, proposed a profile of a Belgian woman we'd never heard of who was building a small hotel — guesthouse, really — near the remote South Indian mountains of her birthplace. We took one look at Simon Roberts's snapshots of Loulou Van Damme — her beautiful, lined face; gray hair wrapped in a scarf; loose, authentically bohemian clothing; and piles of jewelry — and fell in love. We could all feel immediately the force of the life that had created her fantastic style and captured our imaginations.
